Cyprus citizens still waiting for justice

March 26, 2014

The March 19 Morning Call carried a Your View, "Russia recognizes sovereignty when convenient for its goals," written by Lafayette College professor Katalin Fabian.

Referring to the secession of Kosovo, Ms. Fabian hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately, she hit it a little on the side and bent the nail lightly to the right. She did not say that NATO and the USA bombed Serbia to submission, destroying roads, bridges, power stations and other civilian targets until they forced the Serbs to abandon any resistance and leave Kosovo.

Kosovo, a cradle of Christianity for centuries with hundreds of monasteries with valuable Byzantine treasures, was given to the Albanians, who in gratitude named a road in their capital with the name of the then-President Bill Clinton.

Notice also that Kosovo was earlier declared autonomous, under the control of the Albanians, by Yugoslavian leader Tito as Crimea was donated by Nikita Khruschev to Ukraine under the Soviet Union.

President Obama talks about international law and sovereignty, but he did not say a single word about the hordes of "Attilas" who are roaming Cyprus for so many years after the 1974 invasion by Turkey under the auspices of our allies of NATO. So much about justice and international law, Mr. President.
